- So much more than Star Wars!
A fascinating podcast. What makes it really great is the insight it gives into the minds of collectors, the rules we set for our collections and what it means to both ‘complete’ and be a curator of our collections.
Of course the topic of it being Star Wars Figures is super cool too, and there are some great stories about acquiring them first time around.
How many more times did they have to be acquired? You’ll have to listen to find out. *Five Stars*.
